Hello Everone,
I am new to the list and have decided to "dive right in" and ask for
assistance. My great-grandparents and my grandmother came to the U.S.
in 1893. I have an obituary for Carl HAGEN, my great-grandfather, that
gave several dates and locations in Germany. If anyone can pinpoint
these locations and maybe the names of some of the Lutheran churches in
those areas I would be appreciative.
Quoting from Carl HAGEN's obituary: "He was born April 28, 1857 at
Rutenbeck, Criewietz, Germany and married to Mary GRATOPP in Rossow at
Newbuckow Micklenburg, Schwerien, Germany, October 20, 1890."
Mary (Marie) GRATOPP was born October 3, 1860.
My grandmother, Erna Ida Freda HAGEN, was born December 27, 1892 in
Germay, but I do not have any idea where.
Thank you for any assistance, no matter how small, that anyone can
give to me.
